For the record if you did that to the boy now you would indeed be at risk of being charged with sexual assault. Just because the culture of the past had its own way doesn't make it right.

Feinstein set on her accusation intentionally until the weekl before the hearing.
This was quite clearly a political move.
You really shouldnt be upset at other people for not waiting to make up their mind about this womans claim until she testifies if you are unwilling to call out the clear politicization of this accusation by dems and feinstein.
Monahan slammed the Democratic Party for its response to her allegations when compared to its treatment of Christine Blasey Ford. Ford has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of attempting to force himself onto her during at a high school party nearly four decades ago, prompting prominent Democrats to get behind Ford’s allegations.
“No, they don’t,” Monahan tweeted in response to a question whether the party believes women’s stories. “I’ve been smeared, threatened, isolated from my own party. I provided medical records from 2017, stating on two different Dr. Visits, I told them about the abuse and who did it. My therapist released records stating I have been dealing with and healing from the abuse.”
She added: “Four people, including my supervisor at the time, stated that I came to them after and shared the exact story I shared publicly, I shared multiple texts between me and Keith, where I discuss the abuse with him and much more. As I said before, I knew I wouldn’t be believed.”

Where can I find the psychologist notes?
A2D
The notes don’t name Kavanaugh, and they say four boys were involved, not two. Ford told the Post this was the therapist’s error — there were four boys at the party, she said, but only two in the room. Notes from another individual therapy session in 2013 show that Ford talked about a “rape attempt” in her teens.
Her husband, Russell Ford, said that in 2012 his wife talked about being pinned down and molested and said he remembered her using Kavanaugh’s name. Ford’s lawyer also had her take a polygraph test in August, which found she was being truthful.
Ford says she doesn’t remember many details of the event, such as how she got home, the exact year it took place, or how the gathering was put together.
So then how is it her name has been revealed ? Feinstein sat on that info then revealed it at an opportune time politically for the Democrats. Also the woman has some interesting connections of her own.

what proof does he have that she defamed him? she sent two letters to congresswomen telling her story, asking that her identity not be revealed. and I do believe she has evidence that something happened to her in the form of medical records.. it doesn't name him by name but rather refers to two people who are significant in washington politics or something like that. some of those records are from a marriage counselor I believe, and my own experiences tell me that yes, such experiences very well could throw a wrench in a marriage. there is also a lie detector test I believe that shows she is telling the truth.. two letters, telling her story, hoping that the congresswomen could do something with that information without revealing her identity. I don't see that as defamation. and the lie detector test seems to indicate that more than likely she believes her story to be true. if there was any defamation, it was on the part of whoever let the cat out of the bag and made the story public, which, I would suggest you look in congress for that person!

Why not both?
We call it progress, mostly because words don't actually matter anymore.

Actually I was going to edit my post to say "or both"
By todays standards I think I could have gone to jail 100 times over in the pass and I could have put 100 women in jail too. It is not like guys are the only horny ones.
The University of Cincinnati suspended a female student for allegedly engaging in nonconsensual sex with a male student who claimed he was too drunk at the time to approve the encounter.
The fact that this case involves a male accuser ("John Doe") and a female aggressor ("Jane Roe") makes it unusual among Title IX complaints. (Title IX is the federal statute that forbids sex discrimination in schools.) But the female student's lawsuit against Cincinnati—which accuses the university of violating her due process rights—reveals something even odder: Roe had previously filed a sexual misconduct complaint against one of Doe's friends.
Roe's lawsuit, then, suggests that Doe filed the complaint against Roe as a kind of revenge for getting his friend in trouble. (I have an alternative theory, but I'll save that for the end.)
...
Here's an alternative theory: Doe woke up, realized they had engaged in sexual activity while they were both drunk, and feared that she would file a complaint against him, as she had done to his friend. Panic-stricken, he felt he had no choice but to beat her to the punch.
Indeed, if you suspect you are going to become the subject of a Title IX investigation, the optimal strategy may very well be to file the first complaint. For reasons not completely clear to me, Title IX administrators often appear biased in favor of the initial complainant, and presume the other party is the wrongdoer.

I'm waiting to hear about how c@@k metal was inherently misogynistic and "violent" toward women. That will be a laugh and a half for anyone who was actually there.

Evidently she has decided to decline to testify as well as her 'friends'.

Well how predictable. She is afraid to perjure herself,
we saw this coming the minute we found out who she was.
Just another drive by shooting by the Democrat party.
And Feinstien is backing away as well now, what a sham.
Republican sources on Capitol Hill say it's uncertain if the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing scheduled for next Monday to address the sexual assault accusation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh will actually occur.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa said Tuesday morning that he had yet to hear back from Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused Kavanaugh of sexually and physically assaulting her while they were both in high school.
Grassley told Hugh Hewitt on his radio show that Ford has not accepted his request to appear before the committee.
"We have reached out to her in the last 36 hours, three or four times, by email, and we have not heard from them," Grassley said. "So it kind of raises the question, do they want to come to the public hearing or not?"
